My cat had kittens. Why is she acting strange and has a sore lip?

Question

Hi! My cat recently had kittens in late April and she’s been fine since, but recently she’s grown very talkative and I’m not sure if it’s in a bad way or what. She also seems kind of out of it sometimes, not as playful as before nor affectionate. I also noticed on her lip it looks sore.

As for the behavior, she is probably coming back into heat. Please consider having her spayed. The pet overpopulation problem is huge - especially when it comes to kittens. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/spaying-ovariohysterectomy-the-benefits-in-cats/ ) As for the lip - this appears to be eosinophilic granuloma complex (rodent ulcer) and you should get her to the vet for treatment.

If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.
